Clint Sez: Quit Yer Whinin'!

Recently, Spike Lee made some rather bizarre angry comments about Clint Eastwood's directorial work, like calling him racist for not having any black people in the WWII biopic, Flags of our Fathers - a film about the men in the famous flag-raising photo, none of whom were black and implying that he had no business making a twenty year-old biopic about Charlie "Bird" Parker, because he was black and Eastwood isn't. If you're unfamiliar with Lee's comments, I suggest googling and reading for yourself - it really is strange, but not wholly unexpected from such an arrogant filmmaker with such a massive chip on his shoulder.

Anyways, here's Eastwood's response. Always good to hear from The Clint.
